While driving between 10 and 15 mph on wet pavement and making a turn, vehicle made a "clunking" noise, and ABS system locked up, causing vehicle to pull to the right and go off the road. There were no other vehicles involved in this incident, and there were no injuries. Dealership examined vehicle, and stated that ABS system had no problems, and this was considered to be normal operation. Please provide any additional information/attachments. The windshield gasket is splitting on the right side of the glass, the front door wont open at times with the remote, the front edge of the vinyl top is coming loose. Nlm

Heavy brake pulsation required 5 complete brake jobs in 30000 mi, pulsation develops within 3000 mi after each repair. Appeals to president linc-Mercury either go unanswered or brushed off with "that's normal" for Lincoln, the pulsations cause me even to hestitate to apply the brakes, so it is very dangerous.

The braking system has given problems for approximately the last 1000 miles or so. I have had the vehicle in for repair 3 times, and have complained to the service personnel that I have to stand on the pedal to stop. When the brakes are used for a while they tend to not stop the car, but rather let the car glide to a stop, and thus make it difficult to know how much distance to leave between myself and other vehicles, and pedestrians. I have come close on at least 5 occassions to either hitting other cars or pedestrians. The service personnel first said they replaced the brake pads, and that the rotors were warped. I then took it in again, and they replaced an ABS sensor, next time they said they could not find a problem. The problem is intermittent, and thus unpredictable, and potentially life threatening. The service technicians find problems part of the time, and at others they don't. the pedal will push completely upward at times, and in essence the vehicle coasts to a stop, and is dangerous.
